Hurricane Electric, arguably the world's largest IPv6-native Internet backbone and co-location provider, has expanded its IPv6 Professional Services offerings so that they can now help you with IPv6 datacenter deployments.

"From improved network topologies to built-in IPSec, IPv6 can bring immediate benefits to the data center. By investing in good staff training, the average data center operator should have few problems deploying IPv6 and avoid costs later on down the road," said Owen Delong in a statement. "For those data center managers looking for some guidance and assistance, Hurricane Electric's professional services division is available to assist."

Since Hurricane Electric has been doing IPv6 starting in 2001, I'm inclined to trust them. If I had to bring over a datacenter to IPv6 and I didn't have the in-house expertise I'd go to them. Frankly, even if I did have a covey of Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIE) at my beck and call, I'd still call in Hurricane. Shifting over a datacenter to any new technology demands all the expert help you can get, and when it comes to IPv6, that means Hurricane Electric.
